Topaz Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 I think WE all should give Trump a chance to see what he comes up with before drilling down on him. He got enough stress on him being elected and people out there trying to stop him from getting to the White House and IF he does, he's hired his own bodyguards and if u go off mainstream media ,u find out what Trump is up against in his own country and how he's trying to make things better.

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 President Trump will do things his way regardless of any "support" from Canada. Look how much Canadian "support" helped Hillary Clinton. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
bush_cheney2004 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Posted January 4, 2017 Canada's trade ministry is beginning to panic because of Trump's nomination for senior trade rep ( Robert Lighthizer ): Quote "I think his mindset is to support U.S. firms' benefit by taking a hard line on trade," Klein said. "So I don't think you're going to see a lot of compromise. I think you're going to see a strong view that this is the U.S. interest, and if you don't like it, too bad." http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-trade-canada-lighthizer-1.3919811 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Well, if he is on a well deserved vacation then why is he working? Personally, I don't think he knows how to work at all. He is pretty good at making it appear that way though. But hey. Quote

On the other hand no matter what Trump does he will always get whacked by the Canadian fake and phony media, especially that fake and phony one called the CBC. Quote

For starters Harper should have done the taxpayer a service by abolishing the GST. Then dump multiculturalism and political correctness. But he did not because I believe that all political party's in Canada must adhere to a liberal minded ideology. It's the law. Harper blew it. Harper use to be for more freedom, and less government, and less taxes, But apparently, he wanted to carry on whatever the liberals implemented. When it all boils down, there is no real conservative party in Canada, just a bunch of liberal ones with a socialist one thrown in for fun. You must be referring to the uneducated ones who get their news from the phony and fake lying liberal media. You know, the ones that believe that the Russians are hacking everything in America. I get my news from the alternative media which tells me that there is no proof brought forward on this Russian hacking. Just a bunch of lies being promoted by the loser democrats. A sad bunch of losers. "You must be referring to the uneducated ones who get their news from the phony and fake lying liberal media." Interesting your would say that since Hillary's private server story was reported first by the NYT, As was the republican attempt to get rid of the ethics committee . Guess what NYT again. My question is why do fake rights wing news sites never break any stories. ? Facts are stubborn. Remember what ever the cult says is true. No thinking required . Quote

I don't even think the CPC will decide they need her. But if they do JT will get re elected even if he stays on vacation. Kellie is probably one of the last true common sense and logical non politically correct conservative politician we have in Canada today. All the rest are pretty much politically correct, and many show no love for Canada. The CPC is like the Republican Party in the USA. They all hated a conservative like Trump, and they still do even though Trump gave the Republicans the power and control of the politics of America. Even without Kellie the CBC still despises the conservative party, and would receive even more hatred and scorn and contempt if Kellie did become the choice as leader for the CPC. Even her own conservative party will attack her like the Repubs did to Trump.. I think that the conservative party is just another politically correct liberal party. I think that if Kellie were to stick to her guns like Trump did no matter what she may pull it off and get the leadership as there just may be more conservative minded people out there then what we think then liberal minded ones. I would tell her that if she were to get rid of political correctness, multiculturalism, and she would dump the GST as starters. She then could make some headway because what I believe is that most Canadians want to hear from a leader as to how are you going to cut my taxes and give me less government and more free speech, and explain it well in easy terms so most will understand as to what she is saying. Make it simple with the taxpayer in mind. What has she got to lose? If some other conservative leaders gets the nod well Kellie has nothing to lose. Her ideas and beliefs would never see the light of day anyway if she stayed with the party. She will always be seen as a outcast to the party beliefs and politically correct programs and agendas that have not worked in the interest of Canada or Canadians since papa Trudeau came to town. Indeed, it is sad that the people of Canada put in JT as the PM for Canada. He is just what Canada and Canadians needed more of? Another Trudeau back in power with the aim of trying to destroy a country of British and European heritage and culture and traditions, and replace with a third world one. Yup, Canadians sure asked for that change alright, without a whimper, and the many who wanted it got it. Those fools will pay the price for it one day. But hey, who cares what a true Canadian patriot has top say, right? Quote

Maybe, but Canada's state broadcaster has been obsessed with Trump for over a year. The CBC drumbeat on Trump has been relentless, making Justin Trudeau second banana for headlines. Trump seems to appeal to the deepest Canadian insecurities and anti-American ideology. I bet Maude Barlow is writing a new book about Trump, and he isn't even the president yet. Trump dominates Canadian media..... Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
